Description
Many were sad to see Welsh band Attack! Attack! split in early 2013, but Neil Starr and Will Davies wasted no time in forming States and Empires with Evita drummer Johno Fisher.!The band locked themselves in a rehearsal room in Taffs Well in South Wales until they had an albums worth of material. The follow up to their 4 track EP, “Giants”, which was released to critical acclaim, was recorded partly in Cardiff and partly in Florida with producer Stuart Richardson (ex Lostprophets , now No Devotion). Named “Freedom” as a reflection to the current feeling of the band. The musicians feel they can do what they want as they’re not tied down to any managements, booking agents or exclusive record label. The recordings were funded by the band themselves, the CD/LP was financed by a successful kickstarter campaign. States and Empires then teamed up with Rock Ridge Music and White Russian Records to help them give the album the release a great heavy rock record deserves
